This seems to be a week for leaks. I hear one club recently refunded two investors to the tune of £500k each. Don’t worry, it wasn’t Celtic, and I hear the club involved are one of the most financially secure in Britain. I also hear the national broadcaster rejected a former presenter’s request to return to the fold.
Still nothing from the SFA, who were responsible for issuing associate membership to Newco Rangers, on the leak from the club’s board meeting that the Association expressed alarm that earlier information had leaked from chairman, Malcolm Murray. Mr Murray recently instigated an investigation into the relationship between Craig Whyte and Charles Green, the nature of which could invalidate Newco’s associate membership.
Far from being alarmed at leaks, the SFA should be keen to see full disclosure. Reports suggesting otherwise are alarming. I am sure the SFA president has already demanded openness and clarity……. Relax, standards of corporate governance at the SFA are as high as ever.
I am also sure the leak from Newco was not a shot across the SFA’s bows, providing a glimpse into what looks like some murky conversations which people at the Association could have much to lose from being exposed.

I agree, the reduction in season ticket prices was more to do with killing off Sevco than rewarding Celtic fans.
Not that I am complaining one bit, get it right roon the zombies.i
*******
Nonsense.
Celtic don’t run their business like that.
If they did, they would be in the same mess as Pricefreezers.
Miki67,
Keep up the good fight, great to see you posting
Hail hail
Not applauding a winning team onto the pitch is simple unsporting behaviour and the players should be suitably sanctioned, there’s no other conclusion.
This isn’t a John Terry/Rio Ferdinand situation where two players have history. It’s players allowing their inbred hatred to publically manifest itself, and feeling comfortable within their football and social culture to do so.
One of the clear tenets of professional football is respect for your fellow professionals. The behaviour displayed by those players sends out a wholly unsavoury and bitter message to the youth of Scotland.
Many thanks for good thoughts from all of you.
Hopefully I’ll get a bit of a reprieve when the radiotherapy ends and I can have a better quality of life for a time.
And get some things done that I’ve been incapable of. It’s a slog, but there’s the promise of time to enjoy regardless of the terminal inevitability of it all.
And these days I could not care less about the manky mob; they’re an absolute irrelevance, creaking and cranking their way down the cul de sac of their own making.
To get to the FA cup final, Wigan beat
Bournemouth (after a replay)
Macclesfield
Huddersfield
Everton
Millwall

You are an inspiration .

So the zombies release their season book prices. This lets us know that the SFA have rubber stamped their licence for the coming season EVEN before the internal investigation at ayebrokes concludes in its findings between Green and Whyte………
SFA=Sevco=Corrupt

Big Rab, not a user of CQN, and my mate, if you know him, not keeping great, but I’m taking him to CQN table for the rally on Friday night.
I obviously know all the PMS Bhoys, Doc & I go up on the Bannockburn bus, Doc’ Da being main man in 80’s
If in Aviemore do you know a Ex – Cowie Bhoy who lives up there ? TL
Hail Hail
Miles of topic bhoys, but just found out VM has the first two seasons of Hell on Wheels showing.
Worth Watching????

Thanks amigo.
No. Best not as things stand.
TCC
That list of defeated teams , puts into perspective why I personally judge Martinez over a season and not just an FA cup run.
TT
EDB
I understand .

My I just thank TFPLG in advance as IMO if it was not for his rank rotten managerial ability and the dross he served up in Scotland’s lowest division last term Sevco may have been able to push the ST price up slightly .
May I also state on behalf of every Celtic fan ,I think your worth EVERY penny of your £750,000 pa salary .
Gus Poyet must be a contender for the Everton job. Brighton play decent stuff.

Why would you not want get rid of the biggest threat to your income stream once and for all?
ffs like saying Tesco would never try and put Asda out of business.
Anybody know anything about the regulation of charities-rules for % incomes and declaring incomes etc. I’m sick of someone in work whose family run a charity but are basically on the make. Their lifestyle is phenomenal.
Miki67
Whilst I don’t ” know” you I do wish you well and enjoy your posts bud
Keep on fighting Bhoy and know that you are an inspirational poster on many levels to many of us including occasional posters/ long time lurkers like me
Keep it lit man

The Zombies are trying to convince themselves that some months they may lose £1m , but over the year they are balancing the books.
My Tiny mind may yet explode.

fergus slayed the blues
I concur and will raise a glass to that post.

Paul 67, two payments of £500k but who sanctioned it? We have the current offers from the brothers to buy shares when they become available. The same brothers cast aspersions re Murray.
Why buy into a club at a premium rate when it is leaking £1m a month and these shares won’t be available until when?
Add in a £1m pay off to the £1m losses per month and the hopeless season ticket situation and you have Icarus FC.
Ghood evening bhoys and ghirls,
I haven’t been on for a while although I have managed to lurk once or twice recently.
Frankly, I’m disappointed Sevco didn’t lower their season ticket prices. Their fans have been fantastic this season by staying away from our ground… and most other SPL grounds. That should have been better rewarded.
I’m on principally to ask for a little help as I can’t find the info I’m after on the UEFA site and I’m sure some of you will know. You always seem to!
Does anyone know the dates the CL Qualies could be played in July/August this coming season? I’m assuming all 6 games will be on Wednesdays but I’m open to correction.
TTTT
Brighton should have been promoted with the squad they have
Not sure that Poyet fits the Everton criteria
Miki – more power to you, sir. Keep on keeping on.
TCC – I think Everton’s ideal candidate is Big Malky, but he would get a bad name if he left Cardiff in the process of bringing them up to the Premiership.
I went through the options on the Oddschecker website and felt Poyet was a decent sporting bet. The alternative was Everton doing an Anfield boot room and promoting from within….Stubbsy or ole Grandpa Weir. I put a fiver on Weir at 50’s, but Stubbsy’s price is quite short now!

The Huns via the media are kidding themselves on
Leave them to it I say….it killed RFC ….sevco are next

Just looked at Poyet’s record with Brighton. I didn’t realise he’d been there so long.
I think he is a very, very good shout.
jackie mac
don’t know the answer % but Yorkhill children’s hospital swindled rotten by charity, think
they were called moonbeams, seems it goes on all the time ala Dundee untd gate monies + charity sevco games?
Jackie mac,
For whatever reason no one seems to believe this but
7% of raised money is the minimum legally required to give to charity and retain charitable status.
Belated Happy birthday to mrs Midfield Maestro….the big 4-0 who’d av thunk it?
Re the sevcovians…who were the 4 British clubs with bigger attendances….not a quiz question, I don’t know and am curious.
Man U
Arsenal
CELTIC?

Does Sally really get paid £750000 pa
PF
Million £ loss a month is nothing to a club with a zillion followers world wide, 20 million in the bank and a manager who holds the world record for steak bake consumption
….PFAyr, loyalty costs! And £750,000 will buy a lot of loyalty, not to mention pies.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Everton go for Mick McCarthy.
Cowiebhoy. Aye, Rab has been unwell for a while. I’m a St.Ninians man, now in Cambusbabylon, as Mick used to call it. Brother-in-law is wee Rab P, whose best bud is Fergie from Cowie, and Tony McK.
ASOD
cheers to that
